Barack Obama's epic win

The young senator makes history not only in terms of race, while a determined Hillary Clinton delays the inevitable a bit longer.

    Not for me weeping

    I say she concedes first. She stops using blackmail against her party and it's candidate. At that point, if he wins, we she where and if she gets a seat there on the cabneit or supreame court. I think the supreame court MIGHT, and I stress that as I no longer trust her or her patriotism, be a good fit. As she would not sell-out her ideals for politics there.

    but that's to be determined. do you have kids? what happens when you let your kids blackmail you? do they improve or worsen when they get everything they want? We're dealing with children here, not gorwn-ups. I say you pay or get paid as you go. She wants that which she does not have coming to her. No to vp, right now I can say that. As to anything else. when she becomes a democrat again, we can talk about what her future is in the demcoratic party.

    But again, if obama does not offer the vp to her, mccain will. I think that is her future. to me, her democratic future is done, unless she makes drastic changes. Last night she showed she is not willing to do that. So i would give her nothing unless she changes her stance. the supreame court would be safe and she couldn't sell-out and get us in trouble, in terms of that court. She is a sell-out tot he gop. but she's not selling out abortion. She's not selling out gays. that is all the gop wants out of the supreame court. hillary won't sell-out there. I don't think she's qualified for the supreame court though. but it would be a safe move. For her the democratic party, and obama.

    but if it was me. I would give her nothing. Why reward bad behavior? What are we going to give joe leiberman for his elling out? nothing. then why clinton? Because she's a woman? Nah.

    i say let her go with leiberman or gop. that is her future. tha tis the place for her. Let her toil with the gop in irrelevance. :) That is where she belongs, in my humble opinon
